How to manually update RBS50 firmware without orbilogin.com
I have an Orbi Router RBR40 (firmware V2.3.5.32) with 2 satellite RBW30 (firmware V2.3.5.6), and I bought RBS50 and I want to add it as a new satellite, but I have never been able to successfully add...
Hi FURRYe38
Did you wait a full 5 minutes before checking the IP address status on the PC? DHCP on the RBS doesn't enable till about 5 minutes in after you reset the RBS by pressing the back reset button for 15 seconds then release.
Yes, I have wait around 5 min, and the IP address has found on the network, on systems pref on macos.
When I press the reset button around 10-15 second, the LED turn flashing RED, after I released, the LED turn solid Green.
This RBS50 is never connected from the beginning I bought, I bought this item on ebay, I dont think the RBS50 is working when I got it.
If you have any other suggestion, please advise.
Ya if you don't see a 192.168.1.something address on your PCs LAN adapter when directly connected to the RBS after the reset and waiting 5 minutes, then the RBS is bad.
Not sure if this method will work to try to recover it or not:

If this all fails, I would return the unit to the seller if possible.
